I have a white box coming. It will be a couple of days. I have time to exercise my fingers and hands so I can get the thing open. :yahoo:

:lol: Don’t you just use a sharp blade like a utility knife to cut an X in the white plastic from corner to corner on the top of the package? Someone on this thread suggested that awhile back, I forget who. It has saved me so much effort!

That pebbled orange is so bright and beautiful! I hadn't previously thought about pebbled leather for a Little Muse, but I definitely have to reconsider that.
LOVE the colors on the striped bag too!

Thank you! There are so many pretty colors in pebbled that aren't available in other leathers. If I didn't have it in orange, I would get it in fuchsia. I am considering another one in leaf green.

That bag is adorable. AT some point I am going to have to get a Muse!

I highly recommend the little one. It is the sweetest bag, and it fits all your essentials! Even DH and DS love this little bag.

Thank you! I love green bags and am stoked that Marco has some fantastic green leathers. Eden green nappa is a different shade under different lightings. I just took a photo of it under the sun, it’s a bit like your green ray nappa bag directly under the sun, maybe a touch darker.

Thank you! Clio also works wonderfully with different leathers. I had an amber Verona Clio before and Verona suits the style very well.

Wow that color changes beautifully in the sun. I am considering this bag in dark green vaccheta. It's where my mind went to instantly when I saw the sample Marco sent me. I am also thinking it would be perfect in cuoio toscano ginger or natural cuoio. Both are fabulous natural leather colors that would be timeless in this bag. decisions, decisions... :lol:

I am also a longtime lurker and a great fan of Marco and these bags. Muse midi in Octane was my first bag snd there are no words for how perfect it is. I get so many comments and compliments. My 16 year old daughter is loved it too so I ordered her a mini muse in cherry red me it is age appropriate and adorable.
I also bought a Selene midi in black vachetta as a gift for someone close snd she adores it. I am current carrying a Minerva in natural vachetta, I think, and it is the bag I have looked for for decades. It is so hard to find the right tan leather and I love Minerva. I currently have it in order in sale leather in mini and midi.
muse is a real charmer though and Ihave long wondered why no one seems to order or tak about it. It makes me feel like a lady.

Thank you! That’s definitely a really handy resource. And thanks to everyone else too for the additional input/experience. I’ll definitely talk to Marco about wanting the bag to maintain structure once I finally decide on a structured style.

Just ordered a Minerva Midi and Little Minerva in the meantime as my first two Massaccesi bags. With how indecisive I am, I probably won’t have an idea of what I’d want next until after they get here! (Currently in the process of overhauling a bunch of old and/or tattered handbags.)

@crunchlunch , I was browsing the "Available Leathers" page on the MM website recently, and I realised they've now added leather descriptions on the pages for each leather type! It includes comments on what each leather type is ideal for (soft bags, structured bags, etc), so this should definitely be a good reference source moving forward... (And I imagine Marco & co will keep this fairly up to date, with any new leathers they introduce, etc)

Thank you! This is perfect in combination with the weight list on the Reference thread! I'm going to need to start a spreadsheet so I can look at everything on the same page.

FUN QUIZ

When I look at how many MM bags I have bought and how many I have now it made me curious.

How many of you have your ORIGINAL MM Bag? Mine was the Ruby red merinos Selene zip midi. It was stunning but became to soft for me, so I sold it. I don't think I have had a bag since then that smelled as wonderful as it did? They don't seem to have that same smell now.

My originals were a soulmate midi in black merinos and a Selene midi in bronze Africa. I think it depends on the leather RE the smell..

Yes, I think also the smell depends on the leather, but I think most of my Massaccesis still come with that yummy, intoxicating almost, leather smell.

My very first MM was a full-size Soulmate in black merinos. So lush, but too big for what I needed. Thus my first direct from Marco, custom order, was for a Soulmate Midi in dark chocolate merinos. I still own it and it's been my avatar for a long time!

Concerning leather smell ...

My experience is that new leathers, i.e. leathers fresh from the tannery, have far more leather smell than leathers that have been in stock for a while. Which makes sence.

My "smelliest" bag is from the Sheen promo a few months back,- gorgeous :drool:
